San Sebastian International Film Festival

The documentary No Me Llame Ternera (Jordi Évole and Màrius Sánchez) is set to open the festival’s Made in Spain section on September 22.

The documentary explores some of ETA’s decisive moments until it disbanded in 2018, and has an interview between Évole and Josu Urrutikoetxea, also known as Josu Ternera.

French filmmaker Claire Denis will chair the official selection jury for 71th San Sebastian IFF (September 22-30).

Also in the jury: Chinese actress Fan Bingbing; Colombian producer, moviemaker and writer Cristina Gallego; French photographer Brigitte Lacombe; Hungarian producer Robert Lantos; Spanish actress Vicky Luengo; and German director Christian Petzold.

SSIFF has also revealed it will honour Japanese filmmaker Hayao Miyazaki with the Donostia Award, recognising the long career of the iconic animation director. His latest feature, The Boy And The Heron, will open the festival on September 22 and Miyazaki will accept the award virtually during the opening gala.

As previously announced, the festival will also celebrate Spanish filmmaker Víctor Erice with a Donostia Award while Spanish actor Javier Bardem will be presented with a Donostia Award at the 2024 edition due to the SAG-AFTRA strike.
